OV Seventh Graders Show Improvement In 10-0 Loss

Owen Valley’s seventh grade gridders visited North Clay Middle School this past week. Although the team showed signs of improvement, the Patriots came away on the wrong end of a 10-0 final score.

The Patriot offense struggled to stay on the field, running only 18 plays for the game and being held to zero yards rushing on seven attempts.

On the bright side, quarterback Chase Bandy was able to complete 6-of-11 passes for 43 yards. Receiving those passes were Mitchell Walden, two catches for 11 yards; Jameson Norris, two catches for 16 yards; Ty Roudebush, one catch for four yards; and Logan Headlee, one catch for 13 yards.

OV’s defense struggled to stop the Knights as they converted six third downs to keep long drives going. Cole Deford led the Patriot defense with six tackles, while Bandy stopped a North Clay drive with a diving interception.

Owen Valley will be back in action this coming Wednesday, September 11, at home against rival Edgewood. Kick-off is set for 6:00 p.m.
